“Naivete on the right is unreal.”
This naivete is encouraged by much of what is considered “conservative” media. It does make us backward ignorant peasants easier to corral. What’s more disturbing than the “Boehner and McConnell are cowards” lie is the “Obama is well intentioned but clueless” one.
Thus a typical Sean Hannity commentary:
“Obama is just too inexperienced to deal with Islamic terrorism and border issues, and Boehner and McConnel are folding like cheap cameras.”
Right.
Yep. I stopped listening to all of it over a decade ago. It’s all theater, whether the players in conservative media know it or not, and I suspect that the most established ones at least, do know it. Why shouldn’t they cash in, that’s capitalism. We’re busy down here in the hive buzzing back and forth as if we affect anything. Boehner isn’t “caving” or anything of the kind, and if the GOPe in the House hadn’t wanted him, they could have gotten rid of him the first time. We are the only ones being exercised over what’s going on, Congress is on-plan, its own.
